slow - Sometime in 2015 I decided to record another album by myself, without the band, and knew that I wanted to create slow music.
Love whispers and hate screams, and I decided to whisper very softly. I wanted to raise my guitar against the sound of billions of smartphones beeping with the latest news, mentions, likes, and comments, designed to keep us in a state of constant alarm.
I made all of the music on this album with one guitar and one microphone. Working by myself in the studio felt like writing a very personal diary.

three-oh-five - The bullfighter struts, cape extended to the right, weapon concealed to the left. Except he's a mariachi and his weapon is a guitar. Get funky in Madrid, Detroit, Santa Fe. Funky, but with the lyrical flamenco interludes we associate with OL & Luna Negra. Music that is relaxed, but has that sort of down low playing that hipsters everywhere commit crimes to achieve. Moorish, Andalusian, American Bluesy, these strains are wedded with a sort of African Genesis boogie. - Culture Court
